Green Building

A Wichita, Kansas home has been built as part of the House Against Hunger program, an initiative that will build green homes and use part of the proceeds from the sale to combat hunger worldwide, according to The Wichita Eagle.

The home that has been built will sell for $169,900, providing nearly $145,000 to help feed starving people worldwide as well as $25,000 to help with the building of the next House Against Hunger, reported the news source.

Along with the charitable contribution that comes with the sale of the house, the residence has been built with the latest in sustainable technology to minimize the carbon footprint for the house. Solar panels have been installed on the rooftop, along with a radiant heating system that will provide green warmth to the family, The Eagle reported.

"This should make a big difference not only up front but over the life of living here," Rod Chrystie, chairman of the Kansas Mennonite Relief Sale, told the news source. He noted that with the new technology, the average savings on gas and electric bills are estimated at $45 a month.

The use of radiant heating will also help to provide a higher level of comfort to families, as the warmth is evenly spread out due to the in-floor nature of the technology, something that a forced-air system does not offer.

GC and plumber very pleased

Warmboard was done in early April. Complete project done in early May. Probably got 3 weeks of heat running time in April before turning off heating system. Very impressed with Warmboard and how it performed for the short time we had it on. Really looking forward to next winter so I can give the system a workout. General contractor and plumber are very pleased with details provided on layout. I would like to thank you and your organization for the timely information and responses when needed. - Jeff R., Sun Prairie, WI

Welcome to Warmboard, Simply Smarter Radiant Heat

Warmboard was invented in 1992 by Architect and entrepreneur Terry Alsberg. It has since become one of the fastest growing and most popular radiant heating systems. Two things drive growth and popularity of Warmboard:

More comfortable radiant floor heating

Warmboard adjusts its radiant heat output to quickly match changing heat loads throughout the day and night. This gives you the exact feeling of warmth you desire from a radiant floor heat system. The goal of any radiant floor heating system is to ensure that the temperature that you feel in your home is exactly the temperature you desire, and to maintain this ideal comfort minute by minute, hour by hour. No other radiant heat system can match the precise control and fast response of a low mass Warmboard radiant heat system.

More energy efficient radiant floor heating

Warmboard is simply more conductive compared to all the other radiant heat systems. The job of a radiant heat system is to conduct heat from water in a tube to the surface of a radiant floor. This is why in radiant floor heating, conductivity is king. It is a simple law of physics that as conductivity goes up, water temperature goes down. It always saves money to heat water to a lower temperature, and therefore Warmboard is more energy efficient than all other radiant heat systems.
